Craig Bellamy has confirmed his side to take in the Tigers in Campbelltown on Saturday night.

Jahrome Hughes will captain the Storm side in Round 16 with regular captain Christian Welch sidelined through suspension.

After making a return from injury off the bench last week, Tom Eisenhuth will form part of Bellamy's run on side in the second-row in what will be his first start of the season.

The Storm spine will look a little different with Cameron Munster and Harry Grant missing while on Origin duty with Jonah Pezet and Bronson Garlick stepping up to fill the void. It will be Pezet's first game since Round 7 while it will be the first start of Garlick's NRL career.

George Jennings is a confirmed starter, replacing Queensland winger Xavier Coates who is also on Origin duty. It will be Jennings' first game at NRL level since Round 1 last season where the outside back suffered a season ending knee injury.
